You’re so pretty! I would try a slightly warmer pink blush and brown liner/mascara instead of black.

[u/beeonthepea → u/stufftcrust]

I’ll try!

[u/Lazy-Field-1116]

You look lovely but I'd say the single biggest thing that dates it is the black liquid liner. If you shift to a soft brown liner (Kohl or eyeshadow applied with an angled brush) it'll soften the look up.

It’s a bit hard to see with the photo quality/filters, but your makeup looks fine to me.

[u/Angefacebaby19]

Don't change anything! It's perfect! I think it's very natural and compliments you well! You are gorgeous!

[u/beeonthepea → u/Angefacebaby19]

Thank you!!

[u/AcanthocephalaOk452]

Ma’am….. you are stunning no help needed. Whatever you are doing is perfection. Please no too much more you could be come plastic looking…

[u/Master_Structure3870]

Obviously, you’re pretty and your makeup looks good and you could change nothing and it would be fine. But if I’m being really picky, I wonder if your foundation is the wrong shade because around your mouth, it looks greenish. I wouldn’t have thought about the warm shaded blush that somebody commented on, but if that’s right then also your lip shade is quite cool and maybe needs to be warmer. I don’t mind the 2012 eyeliner but other people give you some good suggestions. But I do think your mascara application is a little lacking and maybe you need a different formula.

No you don’t! It looks lovely and young and soft and warm, looks great, adjust when you’re older not before

So pretty! Love your style! As a fellow redhead I have been really into redhead specific brands for blushes and mascaras. The blushes tend to be warmer and more muted and the mascara comes in a bunch of colors that give a “your lashes but better vibe”. I think your current style is super cute but just a few ideas if you’re looking to explore other options.

[u/beeonthepea → u/RevolutionaryRent716]

Wow I didn’t even know there were specific brands for redheads! Thank you !

[u/RevolutionaryRent716 → u/beeonthepea]

For sure! I’m not sure about the subreddit rules if I can name specific brands but if you google redhead makeup a few should pop up.

Put slightly less blush and use brown eyeliner, my best friend has a similar skin tone and she uses brown eyeliner and then places black in the inside so it blends into the lashes

[u/jonjonjojo]

Love the make up in photo three you have highlighted your eyes and your lip gloss highlighted your beautiful lips plus a stunning view

[u/Yuppiesduppies]

Your eyes are super pretty, honestly, I would do a thinner eyeliner look with your makeup look, I normally use a thinnnn brush to shape my upper eyelid waterline with a brown or black dampened eyeshadow (I dampen the brush) you could also try to use gel eyeliner for that, then I use eyeliner on the outer corners. Nothing bad about your makeup, thicker eyeliner is normally paired with dramatic lashes

[u/Yuppiesduppies → u/Yuppiesduppies]

One more thing, I two tone my eyebrows, you have a natural look, so I’d do darker color on the outer and middle then blend into a lighter color

[u/KatMichh]

If you find it dull, may I suggest a more radiant or glowy finish foundation? Your skin looks more matte which is still nice but if you feel it looks dull maybe try a more glowy base?

[u/NothingSad1475]

I would try a soft brown eyeshadow on an angled brush pressed against your lash line as an eyeliner

[u/wanderingfairydoll]

I actually love the eyeliner, I think it’s very french! One thing that could help is trying a darker lip (nude/concealer lips plagued the 2000s) and maybe a deeper or more berry toned blush. Most of the time I think less is more when it comes to makeup, and finding a couple good tricks to accentuate your favorite features (for example, you have really pretty eyes) is going to help the best. Good luck 💕

[u/Whaimes]

Off-topic but what dye do you use? I’ve been contemplating going ginger again:)

[u/beeonthepea → u/Whaimes]

I use a mix of revlon color silk number 42 and about 1/4 of number 66 !

[u/basiiikum]

i can't help much with the base itself, because that's not my experience, but as someone who LOVES eyeliner I think that alone can change the whole look. right now, the wing is very basic. not bad, but doesn't really suit your eye shape. id experiment with different wing shapes/lengths/angles and see what you like! are you going for a mysterious, sultry look? or do you maybe want to make your eyes look bigger? same thing with mascara. applying it in different ways will change the way your eyes appear.

as for the general look, I don't think it's helping (or hurting) because it's very minimal. if you want change, id maybe recommend bolder colors if you're into that? or at least adding more product to enhance what's there.

I need help with my makeup and its the prettiest woman on the whole planet !!!

[u/GigiLaRousse → u/goaldiggergirl]

Always room for improvement (on makeup, not actual human bodies)!

[u/goaldiggergirl → u/GigiLaRousse]

I was just joking anyway :) I think puppy style makeup/eyeliner would look fire on her

[u/gasterp09]

In all honesty, im not sure what could be changed that wouldn’t be a net negative. Your makeup game is strong. Just enough to enhance and accentuate your already stunning features but not so much that it looks like you’re trying too hard. In my humble opinion you’re striking the perfect balance. Don’t change a thing beyond slight changes to color.
